Grammar Exercise Mixed Conditionals

Grammar Exercise Mixed Conditionals I had a Spanish class this morning and my teacher worked with me on the subjunctive tense. Soas payback Ive created a lesson on mixed conditionals.Just kidding, about the payback part. Although I did realize how confusing it gets when you are trying to speak in a mixture of times, which is what we do during normal conversations. Unfortunately or fortunately we dont usually speak in a formulaic manner, so during conversation we talk about the future and the past and the present all at the same time. Here is a somewhat formulaic look at mixing our times in conditionals:Watch the video and try the exercise below: 1. If you __________ (insulted) him yesterday, he _______ __ ____ to the wedding tomorrow. 2. If she __________ (accepts) the promotion, she ____ __ ____ to Brazil in 2015. (future using will) 3. I ________ ______ (speak) fluent Spanish, if I ____ lived in Spain for 10 years. 4. He _____ _____ ____ (left), if he ____ _____ (known) you were coming. Joan Oh, man now that I got the I, II and III conditionals, the mixed conditionals appear so those conditionals have nothing to do with the other ones?Lets see 1. If you hadnt insulted him yesterday, he would go to the wedding tomorrow. 2. If she had accepted the promotion, she will go to Brazil in 2015. (future using will) 3. I would speak fluent Spanish, if I had lived in Spain for 10 years. 4. He wouldnt have left, if he had known you were coming. But the 4th one is not the III type conditional? Now Im lost. Jesús Castañé Hi. I disagree with Joan in the first and second. Here my try.1.- If you hadn`t insulted him yesterday, he would be going to the wedding tomorrow. 2.- She accepted the promotion, she will go to Brazil in 2015 3.- I would speak fluent Spanish, if I had lived in Spain for 10 years. 4.- He wouldnt have left if he had known you were coming.Thanks in advance. Joan I really have problems with mixed conditionals. I thought there were only 3 types, and now I discover there are more of them. Why dont they teach them as type iV, V VI and so on? I dont get it. MarvinOB 1. If you hadn ´t insulted him yesterday, he would be going to the wedding tomorrow. 2. If she had accepted the promotion, she would be going to Brazil in 2015. (future using will) 3. I would speak fluent Spanish, if I had lived in Spain for 10 years. 4. He wouldn ´t have left, if he had known you were coming. LOIEnglish Perfect!

English Phrasal Verbs Christmas Movie Edition

English Phrasal Verbs Christmas Movie Edition My all time favorite Christmas film is A Christmas Story. A lot of my friends and family think Im just being sentimental, but I just think the movie is really funny. The movie follows Ralphie Parker during the weeks prior to Christmas, as he tries to convince his parents to buy him a BB Gun for a present, fights bullies, gets in trouble for swearing for his first time, and battles cold midwestern U.S. weather.The movie is written by Jean Shepherd, who uses a very natural, spoken English style that you can hear this style in dialogue throughout the movie. As most of my students know, natural spoken English relies on a lot more phrasal verbs than formal or written English, and youll find a lot of them in the clip from the movie below. Youll also notice the word gonna used in place of going to and ya instead of you.Here is a list of phrasal verbs from this clip.

Help Your Teen Adjust to Fall Semester - TutorNerds

Help Your Teen Adjust to Fall Semester - TutorNerds 5 ways to help your teen adjust to fall semester Teenagers have just gone back to school and are undergoing the adjustment from summer vacation back to the classroom environment. This can be a tough time for both teens and their parents because academic expectations become higher as students get closer to their senior year. There are lots of things parents can do to help their teen successfully adjust to the fall semester and help them be successful academically. Whether a student needs help with organization or a particular subject, its better if the first few weeks of school are low stress and positive our private Los Angeles tutors are here to help your teen adjust to fall semester. 1. Keep organized After enjoying summer vacation, most students will have forgotten the organizational tools that worked for them the previous year. Its beneficial if students have a little help getting started with their organization but still be independent enough to make choices that work for their schedule and learning style. Students might need help keeping subjects separate, keeping track of due dates, or concentrating on challenging topics. Planning is one of the keys to a successful semester and can make the entire year a better experience (READ: 5 Ways to prepare for the ACT this fall). 2. Supplemental education As students progress through high school, their academic workload will get heavier, and the assignments will become more difficult. Many students benefit from supplemental education services to help them stay on track and tackle challenging topics. Whether a student is working on college prep or dealing with core subjects such as math or English, working with a one-on-one tutor can make their academic life a lot easier. Tutors can help teens tackle stressful elements of a particular course and can help them efficiently prepare for exams. Whether a student works with a tutor for a few hours here and there or has a regular weekly appointment, supplemental education can benefit nearly every teen. 3. Keep education social Students often enjoy working together and have great ideas to share with one another but may start to feel overwhelmed by their current workload and shy away from group study. Being part of a study group of motivated students, however, is a fantastic way to keep education social and keep teens interested in discovering new topics and ideas. When students work together and have similar goals, they can also encourage each other to stay on track and keep their grades high. 4. Develop a healthy routine Its important for every student to have a routine that helps them stay on track academically but this becomes even more important as students progress through the teen years. Students should have enough time to complete their homework successfully, study for exams and prepare for college, enjoy extracurricular activities or work a part-time job, and have sufficient downtime to rest and recuperate from their academic assignments. This is a lot easier said than done and requires a delicate balance. High school students should be sure only to take on the responsibility they can handle and adjust to new responsibilities slowly so they can successfully adjust to each change in their schedule. 5. Get to know the teachers As students get older, they will have several different subject teachers rather than just one teacher in a classroom. Teachers are one of the best resources students can utilize to understand the material and be successful, but they often shy away from asking the teacher questions or contacting them outside of class. Teens are encouraged to write down any questions they have about assignments or a classroom lecture and make an appointment with the teacher during their free period or email them after school to stay on top of assignments and exams.

Alumni series Anchen on living and teaching in Abu Dhabi

Alumni series Anchen on living and teaching in Abu Dhabi The United Arab Emirates (UAE), home to some of the most high-paying teaching jobs in the world, is a perennially attractive prospect for certified international teachers. If you’re thinking about teaching in the UAE, you probably have a ton of questions about what day-to-day life is like living and teaching there. That’s why we recently jumped at the chance to catch up with Anchen Besselaar, a middle-school science teacher from South Africa and one of our Teach Away alum, to ask a few questions about life in Abu Dhabi and what it’s like teaching with Abu Dhabi public schools! Anchen has taught in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi for just over a year now and has plenty to say about her experience teaching abroad so far! Anchen and family! So, let’s hear it from Anchen: What do you love most about being a teacher? Anchen: Since I stepped into my very first classroom five years ago, the best part about my job has been interacting with my students every day. I love the feeling that I’m making a difference in their lives by helping them learn more about the world around them and (hopefully!) instilling a lifelong love of science in them. Getting to witness first hand that “aha” moment, when my students suddenly understand a difficult concept or master a new skill and their faces light up - I feel so privileged to be a part of that. Can you give us a quick overview of your teaching career before moving to Abu Dhabi to teach with the Abu Dhabi Education Council? Sure! Before teaching with Abu Dhabi public schools, I spent five years teaching grade 8 natural science and grades 10 - 12 biology. Before moving to the UAE, had you lived or traveled abroad before? Yes! I moved to Sweden for an exchange program after completing my master's degree in environmentalsciences. I loved sharing my passion for science with my students. Their love of learning was what initially fueled my passion for teaching, actually. What sparked your interest in heading abroad to teach? Teaching abroad is a big decision and definitely not one that should be made lightly. But I was lucky enough to have lots of friends who had taught overseas in various countries all over the world, who gave me some honest insight into both the upsides and challenges of living and teaching abroad. Seeing them have the freedom to travel, experience new foods, cultures and meet new people - I got a serious case of FOMO and decided to take the plunge and teach overseas, too. What made you choose Teach Away as a recruiter? A friend of mine had been placed through Teach Away in the past and had only good things to say about her experience! She recommended that I check out the Teach Away job board and see if there were any opportunities that fit my experience and credentials. Luckily enough, I saw that Abu Dhabi public schools were hiring science teachers and jumped at the chance to get my application in! Can you share your experience of applying and interviewing for jobs through Teach Away? I have only good things to say about my experience of applying and interviewing through Teach Away. The whole team - especially my Placement Coordinator, Chantelle - were amazing and very helpful. They were always available to answer the many questions I bombarded them with on the phone and over email. They worked tirelessly to set me up for success throughout the whole hiring process with Abu Dhabi public schools. They really knew what we are talking about because they had also taught all over the world and really know everything there is to know about interviewing and getting hired to teach abroad. Teach Away also has a great support system in place for job candidates, organizing everything from live information sessions to Facebook groups. Even though I’m a year into my new teaching job in Abu Dhabi now, they still check in to offer guidance and support, to this very day! Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. What are your pro tips for anyone currently going through the interview process for a teaching job abroad? No matter how many interviews you’ve done, they’re still a nerve-racking process! Here are three tips that helped me nail my interview with Abu Dhabi public schools: 1. Bring a portfolio, preferably digital/online with you to the interview. This is a really useful asset you can draw on throughout your interview to showcase your ideas and accomplishments as a teacher and better support your answers. 2. Do your research before the interview. The more you know about the school you’re interviewing at, the more a prospective employer will grow to see you as a great candidate! You’ll be able to find plenty of information about the school on their website and on Teach Away. Read up on their history, mission and values, which will help to show you’re interested in the job as well as the families and students you’ll be working with.Bonus: This will also help you think up some insightful and informed questions to ask during your interview, and to gauge whether the school is the right fit for you! 3. Ask your Teach Away Placement Coordinator or the Teach Away Facebook group what you’re likely to be asked at your interview. Plan ahead on how you’ll answer questions on specific topics around teaching your subject or age range. And don’t forget to support your answers with concrete examples! In making your decision to choose a teach abroad program, what were the top three things that you considered to help make your decision? While there were lots of things that factored into my decision to apply for a teaching job abroad, for me, the top three were: Would my family be able to move with me? Will this job be a step forward financially? How does this job align with my broader career goals? What should teachers who are relocating abroad for the first time do to best prepare for living somewhere new? Firstly: research, research, research! Do your research online about your new home country and everything you need to do to prepare for life there, including local customs, laws and the language. Next, reach out to as many people as you can find who are also living/have lived in the place you’re moving to. Scope out your Facebook friends list and ask people if they know of anyone you can talk to! This is also a great way to meet some new friends where you’ll be teaching. Finally, and I can’t overstate this one enough: it’s important to be flexible! Being able to adjust to new situations and move past unexpected obstacles as they arise will key to successfully adapting to your new life overseas. You need to be open to new experiences and ready to try anything new. What three pieces of advice would you offer a certified teacher who has never taught or traveled abroad, but would like to? 1. Don’t stress about being a little older and worrying that you’ve already missed your chance to teach abroad! I can promise you - teaching abroad isn’t just for new grads in their early twenties! I’ve worked with teachers overseas of all ages and at all career levels. And for any parents planning on teaching overseas, make sure you do some research on some of the programs that offer free or subsidized tuition for your children in their benefits packages. Tuition can be prohibitively expensive otherwise and that program may not be realistic for you or your family. 2. Don’t worry about not speaking the language - you'll be able to pick up some of the lingo and learn some key phrases as you go! 3. There’s a lot of conflicting advice out there on how to get started with teaching abroad - trust me, I’ve been in your shoes! Make sure you sign up for a well-established recruitment agency, like Teach Away, who have a team of experts that can talk you through everything you need to consider when applying to teach abroad. Did you encounter any challenges to start with? There’s no doubt that there are quite a few hurdles to overcome when you’re teaching abroad for the first time. I had to leave behind everything that was familiar to me - including the city I’d grown up in and my entire social circle. So that took some getting used to - luckily I had my spouse and kids with me. Setting up regular Skype calls with my family and friends back home also helped combat the homesickness. I also had to modify my communication style in the classroom to account for the fact that I was teaching predominantly English language learners. Everything from speaking more slowly to simplifying my instructions and drawing on non-verbal cues - these all have helped make the process of teaching and learning easier for me and my students. What’s the best part about living and teaching in the UAE? For me, the best part by far has been the exposure my children are getting on a daily basis to new cultures, friends andlife experiences. I feel like they’re really gaining a greater appreciation for the world and a taste for adventure! Abu Dhabi has plenty of family-friendly activities on offer, too. How has your teach abroad experience helped shape you as an educator? It’s really made me aware the impact of cultural differences in the classroom and how to adjust my own teaching style to reach my students more effectively. It’s also made me much more flexible and patient as an educator. I’m so much more confident in my ability to solve problems and deal with challenging circumstances in the classroom than before I taught abroad. I’m also so much better at communicating with teachers, students and parents with different upbringings and cultural backgrounds. These are all very valuable skills that I feel will be extremely beneficial, not only for my teaching career but for my own personal growth, too. How has your family's lifestyle changed when factoring in the cost of living in Abu Dhabi? We actually have a better lifestyle than back home here - the cost of living is relatively low when compared to the salary teaching in Abu Dhabi, which is great when you’re raising a young family. At the same time, we’re also able to save money for the futurewhen we do return home. What’s been your most memorable teach abroad moment so far? That happened pretty recently, actually! I met a parent in a grocery shop the other day who thanked me for the impact I’ve made on her child, by providing a positive, caring learning environment and encouraging and believing in them. It was such a great reminder of why teaching is such an amazing and worthwhile profession! And last, but not least: do you have a favorite quote, mantra or philosophy to teach by?! If I can make a difference in one student’s life, I’ve succeeded as a teacher! Want to hear more first-hand stories from teachers in Abu Dhabi?

Heads up Guys 5 Signs Shes into You

Heads up Guys 5 Signs Shes into You Courtesy of Flickr.com There are millions of questions running through your mind after the first date with Ms. Perfect. Is she interested or is she not? Is she playing hard to get or is she just not that into you? Is she sending you signals of “get away from me now,” or possibly, “Try harder, stupid?” Although she already went with you once, you are having a difficulty deciphering the  signs of love. 1) Tease Snide remarks such as “Are you gay…? (giggling), or “So you think you can pull off any look, huh?” may sound  awful, coming from the mouth of your Ms. Perfect. Teasing in a fun, endearing way, however, is actually a huge sign  showing her interest in you without embarrassing herself or, better yet, a sign showing that she wants you to try harder! A little bit of unconscious self-touching on her part that complements with the playful teasing is an even better sign. 2) Smiles Smiles she wears around you is a sign more convincing than anything that she is interested in you. Likewise, laughing at your stupid jokes is another good sign that she wants to get close to you and build a relationship! 3) Eye movements While it sounds ridiculously difficult to stare into her eyes and catch a glimpse of yourself at a dimly lit romantic restaurant, what’s more obvious is to see if she’s staring at you in a triangular pattern. According to Tracey Cox, author of  Hot Relationships: How to Have One, a triangular pattern refers to looking first from one eye, followed by  lips, chest, and then traveling back up to another eye. You know you’re golden when she looks at you in a triangular pattern a couple of times in one date. 4) Touchy touchy touchy! 55% of all human communications is nonverbal. Translation: body language is all that matters. Stroking, gentle push, tap on a shoulder or even hitting is a good sign. Some girls will use physical contact to flirt without looking too desperate. 5) Questions questions questions! When a girl is interested in you, she will bombard with millions of questions: “She’ll ask everything about youâ€"your work, your childhood, your likes and dislikes,” says Janice Hoffman, the author of Relationship Rules. Do not peek at her cleavage while she’s talking. Listen and respond!! So when you open your mouth, you can say something better than “you have such great curves!” The classy gossip girl quote: “three words, eight letters, say it and I’m yours.” Now that you have made sure whether your crush is into you, you may want to take another step forward and make her yours! Good luck!

How To Select The Best Chemistry 1250 Private Tutor

How To Select The Best Chemistry 1250 Private TutorThere are many qualities a student should look for in a Chemistry 1250 private tutor, but of the three most important things, only one is necessary. He or she must be able to provide both structure and freedom.Students going to high school with an interest in chemistry are young, inquisitive, and gifted. These traits can easily be absorbed by a teacher, but if a student is not free to do his or her own research and develop new ideas, then there will be less enjoyment in taking a class and learning a subject. To be successful in high school, a student must be given enough freedom to do research, participate in laboratory activities, meet teachers in person, and develop independent thinking.It's important that teachers understand that these qualities are just as important as the lessons themselves. While they don't necessarily have to match up with the students' interests and needs, this does go a long way in preparing students for wha t's next after high school. The atmosphere should be friendly and positive, encouraging students to make the most of their time.All of this means that the chemistry instructor should be supportive and knowledgeable about chemistry. A tutor should be patient and have the ability to notice the student's personal characteristics and to work with them towards making chemistry fun, and rewarding course.It's often hard for high school students to manage, and teachers are often reluctant to challenge students in any area of schoolwork. However, it's important that all of the changes they make to chemistry fit into the way they want to learn chemistry and the course is worth the effort.When you find a potential chemistry tutor, take some time to ask about his or her background and credentials. Also ask for references, and read through a syllabus. This will give you an idea of what you'getting into, and it will help to see how your future Chemistry 1250 private tutor fits into your plans.The answers to all of these questions, plus many more, will give you a lot of information on a potential teacher, and he or she will be much more than a substitute teacher. An effective teacher provides a program that suits each student's needs and allows each student to enjoy the process of chemistry and success in their studies.
